POINT BLANK (1967)
Double-crossed by his gang, stoic, implacable Walker (Lee Marvin), "an anachronism from the '50s transported to San Francisco and LA of the '60s, a world of concrete slabs and menacing vertical lines..." (Time Out Film Guide), methodically hunts down those who betrayed him — starting with the partner who left him for dead, then stole his money and his wife. The film is a violent and vivid fusion of French New Wave style and hard-boiled noir substance. John Boorman's greatest film features Keenan Wynn, Carroll O'Connor, John Vernon and Angie Dickinson giving top-of-their-game performances. DIR John Boorman; SCR Alexander Jacobs, David Newhouse, Rafe Newhouse, from "The Hunter" by Donald E. Westlake; PROD Judd Bernard, Robert Chartoff. U.S., 1967, color, 92 min. NOT RATED
